Faculti Lawyers is pleased to announce it has been named a finalist in the Innovator of the Year category at the 2026 Australian Law Awards.

The recognition reflects Faculti’s continued investment in combining deep legal expertise with proprietary technology to deliver complex legal work more efficiently, consistently and at scale for enterprise clients.

Faculti’s innovation model is built around Fai, its in-house developed AI platform, which has been engineered specifically for legal production and deployed to work alongside legally trained professionals. Rather than relying on off-the-shelf tools, Faculti has developed governed, practice-specific workflows that support lawyers, paralegals and legal operations teams across high-volume, legally complex matters.

Fai has been deployed at scale across approximately 1,000 staff spanning Faculti and major Australian law firm Thomsons, as well as corporate clients.

Ben Lehman, Chief Innovation Officer at Faculti Lawyers, said the finalist recognition reflects a deliberate strategy to build technology around legal expertise and client need.

“We are proud to be recognised as a finalist for Innovator of the Year. This acknowledgement reflects the work our team has done to build technology that is genuinely useful in legal practice - not as a substitute for professional judgement, but as a way to help great lawyers deliver complex work with more speed, consistency and scale. At Faculti, we have focused on creating practical, governed AI solutions that respond to real client challenges and support better legal service delivery.”

The awards will be announced on July 30.
